Background and approach

Her background includes work in community and medical settings where she supported people through crisis, trauma, and parenting challenges. That experience shaped her interest in early childhood development and family dynamics. She also holds an Infant Mental Health endorsement and a Nurturing Parenting Program certification, which inform her work with parent concerns and early relationships.

Therapy sessions combine clear tools and open conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and stick with new habits.

Stephanie also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices to teach emotion regulation and stress management. She often pairs these with short-term coaching strategies for career or life transitions. Her approach aims to make progress feel doable and relevant to everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches available online

Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or depression. CBT sessions often include at-home practice and step-by-step exercises to change how problems feel day to day.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques are useful when strong emotions interfere with relationships or daily functioning and are taught in brief, practiceable steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose or combine methods and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, homework support, or brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.
